Combining Trump’s commentary up to and including today, Putin’s strategic objectives, and the EU landscape, it’s a fair assessment this is a deliberate move by Russia to engage the US asset in the White House in commencement of hot action to cause major disruption to NATO/EU.

Of course, it goes without saying there is a clear attack narrative on NATO/EU here over any potential failure to engage or support Trump - and the whole point of Putin’s #AlternativeWar has been to break the transatlantic alliance.

It’s the final plays now. Buckle up.

A situation such as this plays perfectly not only to Ukraine elections but also pan-Europe elections next year.

We are now entirely in the hands of governments targeted in the hybrid conflict so far, and how they react depends entirely on how much attention they’ve been paying.

Sat on the balcony listening to the roar of Atlantic surf in the cove, musing over the world.

As it dawns on everyone that no deal is coming, Trump and Brexit are one, and that Russia hammers wedges into every fissure of society, I am at peace.

Twice in a lifetime is enough.

The waves crash against my past.

Against Scotland Yard and the discipline action against me for blogging of the danger of cuts back in 2012. Against the parliamentary inquiry into crime figures I sparked. Against Mexico. Against the #AlternativeWar.

My rocks in life’s ocean.

Twice in a lifetime is enough, to do the things which need doing when no one cares, the sea roars.

Twice is enough times to have watched the watchmen.

And that’s where peace comes from. Hearing the sound your heart has always known, accepting it as true.

1. Okay, so here’s a story from July 2016, when I wasn’t a journalist, and none of you followed me, but I reported Brexit’s massive stockmarket Fraud to the NCA as a retired police whistleblower living bankrupt in a bedsit and suffering malnutrition...

2. I had no investment in the world at the time, just this stupid idea that wrongs should be righted, even after the fucking pasting life had given me. So, only weeks after the Brexit vote I reported it and put it on my then poorly read personal blog. jjpatrick.com/2016/07/04/fra…

3. Well, the NCA got back to me, which didn’t go well. So I pinged it right back to them as you can see. Do you know what they did? They forwarded it to the health ombudsman, who unsurprisingly couldn’t help. jjpatrick.com/2016/07/05/nca…
